Thromboelastometry-Guided Intraoperative Hemostatic Management Reduces Bleeding and Red Cell Transfusion after Pediatric Cardiac Surgery
We tested the hypothesis that the use of a thromboelastometry-guided algorithm for blood product management reduces bloodloss and transfusion requirements.

Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in Pediatric Cardiac Support
Resuscitation extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (R-ECMO) was introduced at our institution in July 2002. We reviewed the use of venoarterial (VA)-ECMO for cardiac diagnoses at our institution.
Anticoagulation Drug Therapy: A Review
This review emphasizes the indication, mechanism of action, adverse effects, and potential reversal strategies for various anticoagulants.
Cerebral Aspects of Neonatal Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation: A Review
Neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a lifesaving therapeutic approach in newborns suffering from severe, but potentially reversible, respiratory insufficiency, mostly complicated by neonatal persistent pulmonary hypertension.
